4 Brave Men Reveal What A Male Orgasm Really Feels Like

So what does a male orgasm feel like? Do orgasms differ drastically between the sexes? On our search to find out what exactly goes on in a man's head and body during sex, we first examined what we already know:

Andrew, a 30-year-old computer programmer said that during sex he's in a trance-like, robotic state. While he's physically there, his mind wanders into deep horny forests, that if asked about, are just as ephemeral and hard to explain as the orgasm itself, but after he comes?

"Everything makes sense for a split second," he said. "Like I'm seeing things clearly for the first time. That to me is the most powerful thing about orgasm, the moments afterward."

2. The intensity varies depending on how long he holds out.

Paul, a 23-year-old actor says his most intense and earth shattering climaxes happen after he's reached the edge and held out a few times.

"There's a differences between just letting loose when you first feel the urge and challenging yourself to hold out." he said. "I'm a million times more exhausted after I've stopped and kept going."

3. It's feeling of passing "energy."

Adam a 27-year-old set designer says his orgasms are different depending on whether he's {{ having sex }} or masturbating. Masturbation for him results in an orgasm out of necessity, but when he comes inside a woman he explains it as almost spiritual.

"I feel like I'm passing the core of my soul to someone," he said. When we thought he couldn't be serious, he concluded, "Not to be cheesy, but its like sharing your energy with somebody. Being so close to someone during a very vulnerable period."

4. Women's are indeed longer — and possibly better.

Wes, a 26-year-old advertising copywriter, reiterates the already known fact that the male orgasm is inherently shorter than a female's. It also doesn't seem to be quite as euphoric.

"My girlfriend seems to experience her orgasm in lingering waves," he said. "Ours isn't like that. We have a very intense three- to five-second burst, if that, and then our entire body goes numb. It feels good, but I get the feeling hers are better."

Here's a video that finally answers the question: Who has the better orgasm? Men or women?
